Comment Re:Ice Cream is not heavily processed (Score 1) 272

Cream and eggs are heavily processed foods, heavily processed by nature to have unusually high caloric density for specialized one-off purposes: raising young. Adults are not designed to consume cream and eggs in regular quantities. Also, refined sugar is heavily processed.

By 'heavily processed' the correlation implies the amount of work (calories) your body has to expend to extract nutrition and net calories from the food per unit volume (satiety in the belly.) Think raw wheat, raw fruits and raw vegetables vs refined flour or refined sugar. Our bodies evolved over 100K years to metabolize the former, not the latter.

I like ice cream as much as the next person but don't pretend humans were designed to consume it.

I understand the most recent Macbook pro has more modular components and ports, suggesting they are responding to criticism of the glued together, fake pro direction they had been taking. Is it an inflection point in design philosophy after burning the goodwill they created for pro users?

Not a fan boy, but typing this on a 2009 17 inch MB pro that has been used every day for the last decade and still works like new. Possibly the best machine I have owned of ANY kind. That level of quality earns loyalty. It was assumed they would never again make a laptop larger than 15 inches because the profit margins are too small. Selling a loss leader product to command respect from the pros is the kind of strategy they displayed when Jobs ran the show. Could be a good sign.

(But not holding my breath.)
